Very cool, @Night Herald
I've wanted to design and write video game plots as well. Seems fun. How did they find you?

Your Writing Feats

I blew the dust off this incredibly old TTRPG I started writing for me and my siblings to play together. Never got very far in it because I got so overwhelmed with trying to create/change the game mechanics to fit the story. Maybe I'll finally be able to finish it!
Congrats, that’s a tough field to break into!
It was kinda happenstance. I randomly got to talking with a game dev, helped him out with some critique and editing of text he was working on, then he recommended I apply for a job where an associate of his was doing a project and needed a writer. I got that job, then later it turned out the guy who did the art for that project had his own game studio and needed some writing done, and I got recommended. I guess the moral of the story is networking is important, and that if you do somebody a small favor good things might come your way.
Thanks! I didn't break into it so much as stumble, I got lucky.
Video game writing is something I'd love to do more of, it puts a whole other spin on the creative process. Just working in someone else's universe is a challenge and opportunity for growth.
I've been working on a considerably longer story than the short backstories or RPG posts I do. So far, it's going well and I'm mostly happy with how it's going. I'm even more happy that I'm working on it in the first place, let alone got to chapter 3 with it (around 10k words or so), because I typically struggle so much to put my thoughts down. It's a story about a spooky iced-over forest.

My biggest feat is that I just finished my 5th fantasy novel. It was by far my largest project. My biggest novel before this one was just over 66K words. But this one came it at 95K words. I was pretty overwhelmed as I worked on it because of the sheer size and scope of the project but in the end I am really happy with how it turned out.
Now I have one last novel to do in this series to complete my 6 book series. I have many other stories planned for this world so I will be involved in it for quite sometime.

I just finished reading "A Novel Idea" by Eddie Jones, really basic but I liked it. Now I'm reading "Rock Your Plot" by Cathy Yardley, and it seems like a good follow-up. I'm looking forward to doing something using the information soon, but I've been on hiatus a while and I'm taking it slow.
Wrote 1500 words to finish off an old contest entry I've been meaning to rewrite for about five years. Just need to do an editing pass now.
Word text-to-speech is invaluable for that. It doesn't matter how often I read it through, text-to-speech will always find something I got wrong.
The monotone robot voice helps too lol. Every little typo and out of place word is so much more pronounced!
Only managed 500 words today, so I'm not overly happy. Been tired most of the day, and napping, so I only started writing quite late in the evening.
700 words today. Again, started late. I must improve my discipline.

After having a difficult time getting back into writing after a vacation, an idea I love came to me yesterday and I am excited to write the story!
I just finished a piece!
...it was a set of instructions on how to use a process I've just set up on our PSA system.
That still counts, right?

I did a series of fake PSAs when I was younger. Not sure what for, but it was funny. We're taking about Public Service Announcements, right?
Sorry, no - Professional Services Automation. Basically, a glorified ticketing system.
I always thought PSA stood for Pro Sage Advice.
It also stands for Prostate Specific Antigen.
Hmm... that wouldn't be as amusing to parody.
Just got back from the doctor and my functionality in that department is perfect. They do a chemical test now so I missed the friendly finger days, apparently.
